Adding a touch screen to a non-touch Android device

I'm trying to implement a PQ Labs touch panel with an ODROID-X2. I've managed to get the kernel module compiled and inserted, and a device is created. dmesg shows that the touch panel is identified, and if I cat the device, I get a steady stream of data. I know the device is recognized and communicating.

Unfortunately, touch events are not passed through to the UI. I'm stuck at this point, as my knowledge of the HAL is extremely limited.

How can I get the raw input from my PQ Labs touch panel to pass through to the UI and give me touch events?

Android is equipped with Input Device Configuration files for description of input methods. Here is a comprehensive explanation.

You may need to add an idc file for your touch screen device.
